Pokemon is worth trillions of dollars. There's no reason the Switch games can't look as good or better than this.
>But GameFreak only has hundreds of employees!
Okay. Hire more. You have literally no excuse to be defending substandard games.

I hope not. Pokken's "hardcore" art style doesn't really appeal to me. It works for a fighter, but takes the Pokemon charm away.

There is actually. The main games use a lot more assets it has to use due to having 800+ Pokemon alone. That's not including humans, geography, objects, rooms, and more.
Also the Switch is a handheld with TV connectivity that's only called a console to increase prices on the games.

3DS wasn't really powerful in comparison to the consoles it got game conversions of or as a handheld running ARM.

If you paid attention, it was using outdated tech during its release as Cortex-A processors were making their mark.

>There's no reason

There is a reason. You’re not going to like it, but there is one: because the game doesn’t have to look better to max out it’s financial potential. There’s a certain point where the sales gains from spending more money on graphics reaches a point of diminishing returns — where they’re making less money than if they’d settled for lesser graphics because the marginal sales increase is lower than the marginal development cost. Sure, they *could* spend huge amounts on graphics, but the goal isn’t to make the best-looking game, it’s to make the best-earning game. If there’s a point where the graphics are “good enough” to reach their projected maximum sales, those are the graphics we’ll get.

Pokemon might be the highest-grossing media franchise with only Star Wars coming close, but it still isn't worth trillions. Just a little over 55 billions.

Point proven.

>>35129061
Plenty of other companies do it all the time. More people working on different projects come together and make it work.

>>35129096
It’s simple really, you are still a company and have control over the project. It is just you have more hands on deck to make it more polished. A King ruling over an empire doesn’t lose power or control just because he lets the shit pushers push shit.

>>35131795
And it doesn’t look like the anime because of proportion issues, and the fact they make the colors look like garbage compared to the colors in the anime.

>>35131811
Opinion. See I can say every Pokémon should look like Pokken and it is just as valid as your statement.

>>35132158
Yeah, if you are depending on the same market to buy your games. However, Pokémon games are posting diminishing returns, and they should get like Monster Hunter and modernize it.

2 characters, their supports, stage, and background as well as UI and effects. It's a lot of detailed stuff to have loaded at once and fighting games usually look so good because the sum of these parts loads at once. If you want a Pokemon Switch to look just like this then get ready to expereince Pokken length load times whenever an encounter occurs.

No they aren't, and you're making the mistake of viewing the games as the franchise's only revenue source. There's also merchandise, the anime, manga, etc.
